Lake Goldsmith Steam Rally this year was wall to wall dickheads. -Confederate flag prominently displayed on the corner of the main oval -commentator on the loudspeaker talking constantly about how you better watch out because he&#39;s not politically correct, never gets around to saying anything politically incorrect, just keeps saying that over and over -kept getting that vibe when people were offended by my n95 and needed to loudly declare their insecurities. I wasn&#39;t wearing a mask, it was outdoors. It seems to be just their base state.

Reminds me of sheepvention a few years ago. It seemed it everyone got together just dying to be aggrieved. Absolutely screaming for an injustice to be martyr to. It was a drought, live exports had just been banned and farmers involved were feeling resentful and isolationist about the public sympathy going primarily to the animals. I got a lot of the same vibes from the guys at the steam rally: Something has upset them. To them it's everything, it's obvious, everyone else is obviously thinking about it constantly too. So they're seeing everyone else's actions as "how you respond to [what was a life changing world event for me but you may not have seen the news that day]".
